* BreadEggsMilkSquick: One of the strips of ''DAMN.'' had Shadow annoyed by Tails constantly texting him. The options his phone gave him to deal with this were "Delete messages", "Block this user forever" and "Kill all humanity".

* InNameOnly: Wil's comic ''Mushroom Kingdom Hearts'' has very little if anything to do with KingdomHearts, and is merely, as Wil himself put it, "a ''VERY'' loose parody". (Emphasis his.)

* NamesTheSame: Magazine/ElectronicGamingMonthly made an April Fool's Day joke about a crossover between ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' titled ''Mushroom Kingdom Hearts''. Wil's comic started before that announcement.

[[http://fireball20xl.com/ Fireball 20XL]] is (or rather, was) a webcomic hub created and run by Bryon Beaubien, also known as [=SuperPsyguy=], Psyguy, and Psy. Rather than being a site that hosts comics, it's essentially a website that links to other comic websites, whose authors post on the front page of Fireball 20XL whenever they update their own comics. The idea is for people to be able to check for updates on all the different comic sites, without actually having to go to each site individually and check.

The idea is for people to be able to check for updates on all the different comic sites, without actually having to go to each site individually and check.

As well as managing the site, Psy has also done several (hundreds) of comics, both on his own and collaborating with others. Possibly the most well-known is his graphic novel, ''Chaos Diamonds 3'', a "fanfic gone comic" set in the Sonic universe, but featuring Tails as the hero, Amy as the love interest and Sonic as the villain. It has been drawn by several artists, with Wil Brendel having worked on it for the longest time. (One of the few comics that has actually been finished, the end giving a teaser for a sequel, ''Chaos Diamonds 5,'' though this never came to fruition.) Another of Psy's more famous works is his still-ongoing comic ''Greed'', a Zelda/Mario crossover featuring Wario as the hero and Link as his sidekick. Many artists have worked on this comic, too, Cailen Crow so far holding the record for longest time worked on it (though he eventually had to be replaced due to being too busy to work on it). ''Red & Black'', a comic that speculates and expands upon the death of Maria and just what happened on the Space Colony ARK 50 years ago, is also popular. (Drawn by Fooly, written by Psy, it was cancelled halfway through, but Psy released the complete script online so fans could see the ending.)

* EvilCounterpart: One of Psy's many short-lived and unfinished Sonic comics had Cinos, the evil counterpart to Sonic. As well as his SdrawkcabName, his sprite was literally just a Sonic sprite with the colours inverted.

Added DiffLines:

* ForeignCussWord: At one point in ''Sonic Bastardized'', Knuckles exclaims "Kuso!" (a Japanese curse word roughly equivalent to "Shit!").

* TheAbridgedSeries: Psy's "Bastardized" series, which so far include ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 TMNT: Bastardized]]'' (four episodes), ''[[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie Sonic Bastardized]]'' (six episodes) and ''[[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie Transformers Bastardized]]''. They've been taken down from Website/YouTube, but some are still floating around the internet here and there.

* AllMenArePerverts - Mr. O.M.A. has been accused of this a few times, due to having considerably more female characters than male characters. O.M.A. has admitted it's because he finds women more "flexible" and easier to work with. He's also gotten a lot of flack for his interest in transformation art, despite repeatedly stating that it's only an INTEREST and not an actual fetish, again because he tends to use females in his [=TF=] art (which is also because of the aforementioned reason).

* FaceHeelTurn - Sonic in ''Chaos Diamonds 3''. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:he was being controlled by the Diamond of Will.]]* FunWithAcronyms - ''The Wild Adventures of Trunks and Soto'', or ''TWATS'' for short.* FullNameUltimatum - Ivo uses it on Jen in one ''Ashes of the Fourth Wall'' comic to get her to stop procrastinating and make a comic already. According to the comic's caption, it never fails with her.

* HelloInsertNameHere - Parodied in ''Mushroom Kingdom Hearts'', where Mario and Luigi are given the option to name the trainer they encounter in the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} universe. Mario names him Clem, prompting an incredulous reaction from Luigi.* HeroesWantRedheads - Meta, who is in a relationship with Nilla in both ''The Scrambled Channel'' and ''Shades of Green''. Nilla's hair is more orange than red, but it still counts.

* HijackedByGanon - Happens literally to the Mushroom Kingdom in ''Greed''.* HopelessBossFight - This happens in Wil's sprite comic ''Mushroom Kingdom Hearts'', when the party battle Wil himself in the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} universe (who just summons Dragonite and blasts them with Hyper Beam).* HypnoFool - Rikku in ''The Rogue's Gallery''. She attempts to use her signature Al Bhed swirly eyes to hypnotise Kitty, but unfortunately, Kitty happened to be holding a mirror. Kitty then makes her do various impressions (Aerith, Squall, and Sephiroth) but then the REAL Sephiroth shows up. Later, while they're fighting, Rikku - still hypnotised - is singing a bastardised version of "One Winged Angel". "Xbox, eat berries, he's a fair entity...". Much later, in BrickJoke style, Kitty, Nala and Big Nasty bring Rikku - STILL hypnotised, and STILL singing the song, though very exhausted - to O.M.A, who says "Yeah, I should probably do something about that, huh?"

* MsFanservice - Amber in ''Webcomic/GGGuys'' This was pretty much the whole point of the character - she has little if any personality, and never speaks. She also has fairly large breasts and frequently dresses in skimpy outfits.

* SequelHook - The last two pages of ''Chaos Diamonds 3'' show [[spoiler:a red diamond and a black diamond, and Sonic and a wheelchair-bound Tails in front of Amy Rose's grave.]] Unfortunately, ''Chaos Diamonds 5'' seems all but forgotten about.* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend - O.M.A. had to make an ''Author Space'' basically saying this about Jen, as he had gotten a surprising number of emails from fans thinking that the two of them were a couple in RealLife.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes - Jen absolutely HATES feminine clothing (and girly-cute things in general), to the point where she shrieks and hides behind Ivo when Cream shows up dressed in her normal outfit.* YouGottaHaveBlueHair - Meta from ''The Scrambled Channel'' and ''Shades of Green'' has green hair (''Shades of Green'' reveals that he dyed it green after discovering it was LoveInterest Nilla's favourite colour). Wil has blue hair, and a few other characters have interesting hair colours.

After [[http://social-justice-wario.tumblr.com/post/88968489853/psyguy-abuse-masterpost abuse and other allegations appeared on Tumblr,]] Beaubien took down fireball20xl.com, many of his online accounts, and all other domains that he owns. He has addressed the accusations as such: [[http://superpsyguy.tumblr.co,/post/90752498642/im-sorry "I also want to address the allegations that have been made about me. I have never sexually touched a minor and I categorically deny any such allegation".]] The numerous talented artists that were originally employed under [=FB20XL=] have all since moved on to bigger and better things.
